Say hello to $2 happy hour tacos in Dilworth

Our Agenda team recently went their on a field trip to taste test tacos. Babalu’s tacos are normally $3 each.

Here’s three quick recommendations for happy hour at Babalu.

(1) Sit on the patio.

Big fan of the bar that spans both inside and outside. Also, the outdoor tables with sofas are ideal for a group of four. We went there on a Thursday around 5 p.m. and it wasn’t crowded at all.

(2) Order the guacamole.

It’s delicious and made table-side. It’s $9.99, but pull the trigger.

(3) Order one of each type of taco.

This was the perfect order for a group of four. Each person then drafted tacos, which was awkwardly exciting and made for pleasant chit chat. Babalu offers 13 different types of tacos. Here’s a list of their 10 most popular tacos (not in order):

• Ollo –  House smoked Joyce Farms mole chicken, smoked corn pico de gallo, cotija cheese, goat cheese crema
